New piece called TRE, which can be translated as “three” in several European languages. No significance, just something that came rolling out of the brain today.

Here’s a design I’ve been playing with for a couple of weeks on and off. Not much background or meaning to this one, just a word I liked and then some experimenting with lines and color.

This latest piece I created is not only inspired by the sounds and beats of the styles of music I’ve been listening to recently, but it also pays homage to the cover of the first EP released by French-duo, AIR.

My cousin Chris plays in a band called Ethan Durelle and I thought that my next piece should throw a little promotion their way. They hail from Waco and have some pretty catchy tunes. They also rock the stage like madmen.

Phew! I have been wanting to do this for a long time. For years now I have been spending all of my time as a designer creating artwork for other people, whether that be clients, my employer or friends. Recently I’ve been thinking about carving out time to do some personal work for a change, but have been struggling with figuring out where to start. Usually I have a fairly fleshed out project on my desk before I start working on something new. This time it was completely up to me and I found my mind racing in all sorts of directions as to where to get started. After taking a few steps back, actually closing my computer and getting this completely out of my mind, the idea for the above poster came to me and so today I ran with it. Now, this is kind of an ironic image for me because I’m actually not that big a fan of classic rock. However I’m a huge fan of music and of a classic, vintage design style and I knew whatever project I started with I would lean more towards those trends. This is what came out after some copy & pasting, layering and brush work in Photoshop.
